One of our partners, Infosys, has released the results of a new banking transaction benchmark with their Finacle software platform, and the numbers are impressive: they've shown that on a Oracle SuperCluster system, they can support six times the daily transaction volume of the entire US banking system.

Finacle now has "SuperCluster Optimized" status as part of the Oracle Exastack Optimized program. It's a very impressive demonstration of the near-linear scalability that the SPARC/Solaris combo offers. It was a huge exercise, simulating 1.9 billion bank accounts—greater than the entire population of China.
